Hey guys,
Just sat at work looking at the brothers girlfriends MOT failure sheet.
Its time to fit 2 new rear wheel bearings,

Basically pressing in and out isn't a problem, but when it comes to doing the centre nut up...

Is there a torque setting?
Or how tight?

Some seem to have to be uber tight, others uber loose!
All I know is I have to knock the side of the hub nut into a groove in the stub axle!

Any suggestions?
I can't find anything online, using my blackberry is a bit limited!i
Cheers

unless its one that stops on its own when its tight it should be just enough to take the play out of the bearing

Won't that break the bearing?

Surely there's a torque setting to make it dead simple?

Oh right lol, corsa ones have to be pretty much hand tight?

Or is that cos they have a split pin through the axle?

Confuses me!

Bearings that come as on piece are usually done up very tight. Tapered bearings such as corsa rear bearings only a bit more than hand tight. These will also have a split pin to stop them coming undone.
